J’ai séquestré Kim Kardashian — that’s French for I Sequestered Kim Kardashian — is scheduled for publication on Feb. 4, 2021. It was written by Yunice Abbas, who is accused of being part of a team of burglars who robbed Kardashian at gunpoint in the Paris hotel where she was staying for Fashion Week in 2016. As translated by Page Six, Abbas brags that he and his accomplices made their way into the Hôtel de Pourtalès by dressing up as police officers and using elderly scouts to do surveillance because they were “as peaceful as they are anonymous.”
The book reveals that Kardashian and her secretary tried to phone for help, but they “stubbornly called 911… Not very efficient when you are in Paris,” writes Abbas. After tying up the reality star, the group swiped some $10 million worth of jewelry and made their getaway on bikes, but not before Abbas got an unexpected surprise. He reports that he put Kardashian’s cell phone into his bag by mistake, and thought he was “hallucinating” when the phone rang and he saw singer Tracy Chapman’s name pop up on the caller ID. Kardashian has yet to comment on the book, but one can only imagine what she thinks of it. In a 2018 TV interview, she described the ordeal as “horrific” (via In Touch Weekly) and added that it left her shaken and unmotivated to work for months. As for Abbas, he has been awaiting trial since 2017.
